Reply To: home page feautured post title

No, I would like the title to be in a box like the image I attached, black font and mouseover link color a medium gray. In the post content for a work a round I told the authors to add a color to all their links till I can get the featured post title separated out with it’s own special css like below.

Maybe it is a boxed around the whole image and title so that they look attached to each other.
